Episode Description
Staying successful with Southwest means keeping up with nonstop change — and that’s where I come in. In this episode I break down the latest boarding scoop from the Wall Street Journal and everything else they've announced in the last few months.
I discuss the simple way to avoid paid seat headaches — lost seats on changes, messy expiring credits and poor points-plus-cash value — by booking in points and using the right Southwest card so you get an assigned seat without paying extra.
I round things out with some good news:
- free Wi-Fi for Rapid Rewards members starting today!
- new aircraft features
- new routes like Alaska and the Caribbean
Plus, I share what we do and don’t know yet about the Southwest Companion Pass for next year.
